"if anyone goes" or "if anyone go"?
"Anyone" is singular, so "If anyone GOES" is right, e.g., Nan isn't sure if anyone goes to that restaurant anymore.

do we have to use root word after "I do.....?
After DO, DON'T, DOES, DOESN'T, DID, and DIDN'T, use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb:
- I do LOVE her. (Not "I do loved her.")
- She does ENJOY reading comics. (Not "She does enjoyed reading comics.")
- We don't GO to cafes as much as we'd like to. (Not "We don't went to cafes ....")
However, you don't have to always use verbs after "I do ...." You can also use nouns:
- I do MY HOMEWORK.
- I do THE LAUNDRY.
- I do LOVE her. (Not "I do loved her.")
- She does ENJOY reading comics. (Not "She does enjoyed reading comics.")
- We don't GO to cafes as much as we'd like to. (Not "We don't went to cafes ....")

"you clicked your heels and wished for me" do you know the meaning?
It means something like "You made a wish to be with me" or "I was your wish come true."
The idiom comes from "The Wizard of Oz," when Dorothy closed her eyes, tapped her heels together three times, and thought to herself, "There's no place like home" ... and then she ended up back at home. In other words, her wish came true.

in what situation we dont have to use "i am +ing"? and could you give some examples?
We DON'T have to use "I am" + "-ing" when you're describing a state of being, quality, or condition. In those cases, "I am" will be followed by an adjective, noun phrase, or prepositional phrase:
- I am SICK. (adj.)
- I am TIRED. (adj.)
- I am THIRSTY. (adj.)
- I am HER BROTHER. (noun phrase)
- I am YOUR FRIEND. (noun phrase)
- I am IN LOVE. (prepositional phrase)
- I am AT THE PARK. (prepositional phrase)
- I am SICK. (adj.)
- I am TIRED. (adj.)
- I am THIRSTY. (adj.)
- I am HER BROTHER. (noun phrase)
- I am YOUR FRIEND. (noun phrase)
- I am IN LOVE. (prepositional phrase)
- I am AT THE PARK. (prepositional phrase)

Which is more uhm... I can't find the right term but which is better writing in past tense or in present? Like He sat infront of her, waiting for her answer. He sits infront of her......
It depends on the context: "He sat in front of her, waiting for her answer" would work better if the other sentences in that paragraph are also in the past tense. "He sits in front of her, waiting for her answer" would work better if the other sentences are in the present tense.
Does 'If' have to follow up with 'were' ALL THE TIME? How about sentences like, If I was on his shoes, I wouldn't have done it.
Not all the time. (By the way, your example should be written "If I had been in his shoes, I wouldn't have done it.")
"If ... were" is used to describe hypothetical situations:
- If I were you (but I'm not and I can never be), I would travel as much as I could.
- If she were here (but she's not and she's not coming), I would give her a kiss.
- If they were my brothers (but they're not and they can never be), I would tell them to release an album next month.
"If ... was" is used to indicate something that is true:
- Nan asked Henry if he was sick, apathetic, or just tired. (Henry is one of those three things.)
- Peter asked Nan if she was going to eat the entire cake by herself. (She's either going to eat the whole cake or not.)
- Nan wondered if Henry was singing or screaming. (Henry is either singing or screaming.)

So had can not be written/spoken without the information of the specific time?
The simple answer is yes. Here's more information about the past perfect tense: http://bit.ly/1nlbdFt
There is one more use of "had"; had + past participle is also used in conditionals:
- If Peter had studied more diligently, he might have passed the difficult exam.
- If Nan had charged her phone last night, it wouldn't have died.
- If Henry had watched the news, he would have known that it was going to rain today.

What does ' You got that James Dean ' mean? i found it several times on songs lyric. what happen with James Dean?
You're probably talking about "You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye" from Taylor's Swift's "Style."
James Dean, one of the most famous actors ever, died in a car crash in 1955. He was only 24 years old. His premature death made him a legend and a cultural icon. In "Style," Taylor Swift says "We never go out of style," which fits well with the reference to James Dean (who remains synonymous with "cool" even 60 years after his death).

"i have watched it" "i had watched it" which one is the correct one? thanks btw! (:
"I have watched it" = I watched it at some time in the past, e.g., I've watched that video 20 times.
"I had watched it" = I watched it before some other past tense action; I watched it before a specific time in the past:
- BY THE TIME Nan arrived for our meeting, Henry had watched five episodes of "One Piece."
- Peter had never watched "Tokyo Ghoul" UNTIL two months ago.

Please don't use "tho." Just use "though." (It's only three letters longer, but it makes you look three times smarter.)

"another selfie with same people and same uniform" is that correct?
The best way to say this is probably "another selfie with the same people wearing the same uniforms," e.g., I want to take another selfie with the same people wearing the same uniforms.
what's the difference between "the king can do no wrong" w/ "the king can not do wrong"? and "i have no money" w/ "i don't have money"? thanks in advance ;)
"The king can do no wrong" = The king is perfect in every way. ("X can do no wrong" is an idiom that means "X is perfect in every way.")
"The king cannot do wrong" = The king must not do anything wrong; the king is incapable of doing anything wrong.
"I have no money." = "I don't have money." = "I don't have any money." (It's a matter of preference.)

What is the meaning of "let's agree to disagree" ?
When you have an argument or debate with someone and neither person is willing to compromise, you can say "Let's agree to disagree" to end the debate. It means that you two will never agree, so there's no point arguing about it anymore.
Peter: Levi Ackerman would easily beat Kishou Arima.
Henry: Are you crazy? Arima can singlehandedly beat SSS-rated ghouls!
Peter: But many titans could easily crush SSS-rated ghouls!
Henry: What?! No way!
< 30 minutes of intense arguing later >
Henry: Let's just agree to disagree.
Peter: OK. I'm tired and hungry. Let's go eat.
